Ain’t It Grand?

Ain’t it grand to be at Swarthouts – ain’t it grand? We weren’t lost coming to Anoka – understand. At this pastoral/zone and meeting, we have no sermons, only the greeting. Ain’t it grand to be at Swarthouts, ain’t it grand?

Ain’t it great to be with pastors, wives, and all? They do this in the summer, not the fall. Pastors usually try to wait, unless they’ve already got their plate. Ain’t it great to be with pastors – ain’t it great?

Ain’t it sweet to be here with Doug at his home? You won’t find him serving us while on the phone. Doug’s not only a wonderful pastor, but here he serves as the head grill master. Ain’t it sweet to be with Doug, here – ain’t it sweet?

What a charming hostess, that’s our Suzi dear. You can see by her face, she’s glad you’re here. She works at Wells Fargo doing her best, and always keep your interest. What a charming hostess she is – Suzie dear.

Do you remember last year’s party – with no keg? When a squirrel ran to Al Gorecke’s leg?
We sure have fun with God’s great people. To have real church, you don’t need a steeple. Ain’t it grand to be at Swarthouts, ain’t it grand?

This year we have to stop and say good bye. The Bakers are going to Ohio in God’s style. Your church and the camp will miss your face, but you’ve left footprints well in place. Ain’t it sad to say good bye here, ain’t it sad?

And no matter where in the world you may roam, it’s always such a joy when you are home. Andrea’s here – there’s no mistake. Doug and Suzi keep filling her plate. Ain’t it grand Andrea’s home, now – ain’t it grand?

Thanks for listening to what became a fuller song. My benediction will not be very long. Doug and Suzi – you’ve welcomed all, and it’s time for my curtain call. Thanks again for such a party – it is grand!
